My group's research is in Software Engineering (SE), particularly in interactive program analysis and transformation (aka, refactoring).
It is widely known that at least two-thirds of software costs are due to evolution,
with some industrial surveys claiming 90%.
Our research goal is to enable programmers to interactively and safely change
large programs. Just as machinery fostered the industrial revolution,
machinery automating software changes will foster a revolution in
software technology.
We successfully pioneered interactive program transformations by opening the field of refactoring in cutting-edge domains including AI/ML, mobile, parallelism, component-based, testing, and end-user programming.
Some of the techniques our team developed are shipping with the official release of
the popular Eclipse, NetBeans, and Visual Studio
development environments, and are used by millions of Java and C# programmers everyday.
Research Key Statistics:
- $7.4M as lead PI, ($5.9M from NSF, $1.5M from industry). My share: $2.8M

- 50+ full papers in flagship/top ACM/IEEE venues in SE (<25% acceptance ratio)
- Plus 10 journal papers, including 4 in the flagship journals, ACM/IEEE Transactions
- 9 tools released in industrial-strength products, 40M+ downloads
- 7000+ citations, h-index of 44, >400 citations for top-cited paper

THESIS
SOFTWARE
- LambdaFicator enables Java programmers to use lambda expressions and functional iterators.
- Immutator is a refactoring tool for converting mutable into immutable classes.
- ReLooper, parallelizes a sequential loop using Java's upcoming ParallelArray.
- Concurrencer, extends Eclipse's refactoring engine with three refactorings: convert int to AtomicInteger, convert.HashMap to ConcurrentHashMap, convert sequential divide-and-conquer algorithm into a parallel divide-and-conquer.
- ReBA, an
Eclipse plugin that takes as input a library and generates a
version which is backwards compatible
- ASTGen, a program
generator for automatically testing refactoring engines.
- MolhadoRef, a
refactoring-aware Software Configuration Management tool, built as
a plug-in for Eclipse
- RefactoringCrawler,
a plugin for Eclipse to detect
refactorings that happened between two versions of a software
component
- JavaRefactor
(the first open-source refactoring engine for Java), implemented
as a plugin for JEdit (requires
JEdit 4.0)
SERVICE
- I started a popular Practice for the Academic
Job Talks (PACAJOT)
seminar at MIT and one at Illinois
- On Feb 27th I organized Inspirations (try
this
link from outside UIUC domain), an event aimed toward
undergraduate students at UIUC who are seriously contemplating
going to graduate school. Inspirations will provide them with a
"taste of graduate school". Here are my slides.
- I am trying to foster a live community of refactoring
researchers. You can find more about this at refactoring.info
